Liquid Cooled Resistors and their application

Liquid Cooled Resistors are used in applications where large amount of heat needs to be dissipated through resistors. Liquid Cooling helps design resistors which are compact. Liquid Cooling Resistors use water or a glycol-water mixture. The resistors are cooled directly with water which has been de-ionized or through water-cooled heat sinks.

The Resistors are made of materials such as copper, stainless steel and aluminium. Cooling mediums used also vary. Deionized water, salt water, Glycol and other non-conductive liquids can be used for cooling.
